Sometimes when starting the car i get a horrid noise as if iv over turned the key like a terrible grinding noise!!!! it can do it when the car is out of gear or in (obvioulsy clutch depressed)!!!! sometimes just for a split second then fires up other times for slightly longer before i quickly turn it off, then will fire up fine a second later!!!

 

Doesnt happen all the time sometimes not for ages then can be quite often, the clutch and flywheel were swapped about 8000 miles ago and seem fine!!!

 

Worrying though, anyone got any ideas before i go see the local garage or stealers :thumbs:

There is no fan belt on the VQ35 as such.

 

There are two belts, the main serpentine belt and the aircon belt, and both are adjustable.

 

If the starter motor is only sticking then a clean will fix it, but if it is an internal electrical fault within the starter then a replacement starter will be required, or it may be a faulty starter motor soleniod which is part of the starter motor.

 

A new starter motor from Nissan is £420.40.

 

I have preowned starter motors available at £125.00.

 

Also check that the ignition switch is not sticking. ;)
